Hilton Spence is a family law firm that is boutique, high-quality, genuinely client‑first, and a place that doesn't hold good lawyers back.
We act for clients across the North West - and there is now more of that work than the current team should sensibly carry.
The Role
We're looking for an ambitious family solicitor, around 3 years' PQE, to join the firm at an early and formative stage.
You won't inherit someone's idea of how the job should be done - you'll help shape the way we work, grow as the firm grows, and look back in a few years knowing you were part of it from the start.
This is a role for someone who wants to build their career, a team and the firm – not just bill.
As well as running your own matters, you'll have a hand in raising the firm's profile, and you'll be supported to do it your way.
What You'll Do
- Run and manage your own a caseload of divorce, financial remedy, private children and nuptial agreement work.
- Advise clients on complex and sensitive matters, with genuine ownership from day one.
- Show real care in your drafting, client care and communications.
- Liaise confidently with clients, Courts, counsel and experts.
- Attend hearings and conferences.
- Play an active part in business development – building relationships, promoting the firm and helping it grow.
- What You'll Bring
- Qualified solicitor with c. 3 years' PQE (spent in family law).
- Sound knowledge of the Family Procedure Rules.
- Strong drafting, advocacy and client‑care skills.
- A professional, discreet and commercially aware approach.
- Ambition to build a practice in a growing firm.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary, dependent on experience.
- A culture that strives to ensure you feel valued.
- A caseload with high value, excellent quality work.
- A genuine say in how the firm grows.
- Constant mentoring and ongoing support.
- Real room to grow and progress.
- A modern set up, including two excellent office locations.
We want to ensure you feel valued, recognised for your work and fairly rewarded for it. What you contribute will be seen, and will count.
And this part we really do mean: if you have an idea, it will be listened to.
You won't be waved away, or told to be more traditional.
If it's a good idea and you're willing to run with it, we'll back you and give you what you need to make it happen.
Most people don't get a change to help shape the firm they work for – but you can.
